How To Make Every Build Feel Good...

[@wanglelife]

Some gear upgrades literally doubled my dps and it became a whole different game.

[@Sammysapphira]

What needs to be understood is compounding benefits. People might look at an 8% EHP gain for 15 chaos and think "eh I'll just skip that until I can get an 8 div chest which is 20% more ehp" meanwhile EVERY one of their slots are like that. People know that the key in PoE is multiplicative More modifiers, but they forget that when it comes to gear? 8% more EHP across 10 pieces of gear and some jewels is 2.15x more EHP which could budget to about 1-2 divs. Obviously this is an extreme example but it really does feel that way. People will often see their gear is only slightly worse than the recommended budget setup and think it's not a big deal but it is. It's the same fallacy that leads to people not investing their money, where they think that a 6% yearly return is always going to be 6% of what their current wealth is at the present time that they are imagining. However, as we know, when you re-invest the same amount of wealth that 6% is suddenly 6% of 3x of what you owned 20 years ago, making it in the multiples of thousands rather than some couple hundred's.

[@bringitlp5177]

yup hitting the breakpoints is a pain missing one build bricket cuz when u fix one gear then something else is missing had wardlooper with 100mil dps was nice was cool never again

[@Micky96]

Back when I was new I nearly quit because I just couldn't figure out how to upgrade. Then a friend sat me down, had me take off all my gear, and we spent 100c rebuilding my character. That Impending Doom Occultist is still my favorite character I've played (RIP). That's when I learned how to shop and buy gear. Then, I learned how to actually read build guides because I decided to make a Wardlooper with the currency I had earned from that Occultist. Nothing will teach you how to read a guide like making a Wardloop character. Expensive as hell and *everything* is there for a reason. By god you better know every single minute detail or your loop isn't going to work and you're out 15 divs *at least*.

[@Yomush]

How to craft gear in trade league: 1. Get a base (ideally fractured) 2. Slam essences until something good comes out 3. See if you like the outcome 4. If not, sell the item and buy a new base 5. Repeat step 1 until satisfied

[@Enthapythius]

While it sounds so easy i started doing step 4 this league. No craft you do is failed. Your trash is another mans treasure. Made me good money

[@nicholaspassage1295]

I had a lot of fun using veiled orbs early this league, with wild bristle matron, it's 4 top tier mods (assuming you hit veiled and keep crafting if you don't) 1 crafted and 1 random for really cheap.

[@Yomush]

@@Enthapythius Yep, sometimes when I'm trying to get some upgrades I end up with more money than I started hah. Never roll over an item that can recoup the crafting costs

[@jordanharrison8769]

Sounds expensive

[@derlou88]

or hit triple t1 and be to greedy to keep it. endless cycle

[@Connleth]

This game isn't a wealth simulator - if you've got money in your stash, but not saving for a specific upgrade, you're doing it wrong. The quicker I changed my mindset and emptied the wealth of my stash... the more I actually made.

[@zxyen1629]

Every Poe player should learn at least the basics of crafting. So many times people complain about not having enough money for the upgrade when you could make a 90% as good item for half or even less than the cost on trade. Understanding how the metamods on the crafting bench works, learning how you can force mods with those and harvest, even something as simple as blocking mods and ex slamming when you have 1 extra open modifier. Not being afraid of using your div to wipe an item and multimod it for a very strong usable item. A good 5 mod item even with crafted stats is way better than a 6 mod item that has 2 dead mods or poor tiers. Essences and fractured items are the silliest, easiest way to craft in the game. Pick a fracture suffix/prefix, pick an essence that goes along with it and roll until you finish your 3rd prefix/suffix. Now you can use eldritch currency to very safely craft the other side. Once you have some money, make another pair and go for a veiled orb. And don’t recraft an item you are using. Buy a new base and go for what you want. That way, even if you burn a lot of currency, your build is still functional. Learning the basics of crafting adds so many layers to the game, you will look at everything differently.

[@jordanharrison8769]

If it needs a metamod, its already too expensive for most people. 2 divines for a benchcraft that you wont even keep and wont guarantee anything except another attempt at getting what you want is beyond too expensive for many players.

[@von_mcthy]

This was true for me today. I didnt know that crafting was gonna save me soooo much currency. Needed a claw for my frostblades most of them were being sold at 50-70+ divs. But with crafting it only took me around 27 divs down... Its really helpful to learn a bit of crafting

[@iAMxVV]

As someone who crafts most his own gear, it comes down to experience. Knowing what you want and what to target on fractures is super important. Some slots I'm able to craft off a simple high evasion fracture, others I might target spell suppression. Getting a good base cheap and hitting it with deafening envy is always a good play.

[@sc065]

Thanks for saying what needs to be said. You really can make almost anything work if you invest in it, ESPECIALLY if you're following a decent build guide (easy af to find these days).

I found crafting my own gear one of the most satisfying experiences in PoE. The combination of learning new mechanics and a little bit of gamba really spikes a ton of them happy hormones in the brain. And to those who wanna learn crafting, dont be afraid to waste a few divines here or there for mistakes. Think of it as an investment to learning. Crafting your own gear and selling some you dont need but is decent is almost always a net positive.

[@nathanmoore1980]

This is great advice and advice I give to newer players. Get yourself sorted with GOOD GEAR. Another peice of advice i give is quality your gear and flasks. Anoint your ammy. After you have good gear start investing into your big upgrades. Pick your one piece of gear where you get the most damage and craft that if your damage is lacking or do your big defensive craft. Then pick your next piece. Know your budget and stick to it. If you know the craft is 100div and your at 50, you need to choose do i get 50 more div, or is there another piece of my gear that is 50 div?

After that you can safe up for the expensive items to replace your current gear. going from early > mid > endgame budget feels absolutely smoother but its completely fine if you go from early > endgame budget if the earlygame budget you have feels good enough to clear your content with ^^

Dont give a build doing 100 million dps and make it look like everybody can have that with 1 hour of playtime.

A massive trap that new players in particular run into is getting builds not from Zizaran. It's astonishing just how many abysmal build guides there are out there, and if someone doesn't even know how affixes work, then his are the only ones to follow. Even other good build creators aren't noob-friendly as they require you to have at least some form of basic game knowledge, like what's outlined here. I have a friend who wanted to go Boneshatter Jugg this league because he did it before, but there was no Ziz guide for it and he really doesn't understand how gear works. He found some random guide and it almost caused him to quit the game. He swapped to Ziz's Ground Slam build and it was night and day. Now he's learning gear and it has completely changed his life.

You need to get the base fractured with decent spell suppression, because that is a hard mod to get and can't be targeted by any crafting method. Then you make it rare (if it already isn't) and spam with essence of greed to guarantee a good life roll, until you're happy with the resistances. That is the easiest method. Remember that if you roll a high tier of one resistance that you don't need, you can always use the horticrafting bench to change that resist to something that is useful for you.

Brother, gearing off meta builds is much harder. One because you're most likely not going to find anything good for your build on trade, so you'll have to craft it yourself. Two because you're crafting most of the stuff yourself, you'll need to farm a lot more currency to play the lottery that is PoE crafting, which isn't easy when your build isn't even properly geared yet. If you're playing anything meta, finding some decent upgrades for cheap is easy. Because people get better gear and sell their old stuff, or there are crafters making items for meta builds for profit, or because people get bored with the build and move on and sell all of their stuff to finance their new builds.

The issue is, everything feels like shit, and the difficulty scaling isn't linear. And the compounding negative map mods that completely fuck you. You can roll overthem, but then your dealing with 40-50 quant maps and make absolutely dog shit for currency. My build can blast alch and go maps. but when you start adding essence mobs, alters that reduce my es, lower my max res, deal increased phys, lower armor, make enemies ailment immune, boost their speed, gain more damage as extra, move faster and cant be slowed, it becomes ridiculous. THEN add in the fact that atlast travel nodes increase the effectiveness of these mods to the point that you can't even gain health by using a flask. Nevermind the fact that all of the league based mobs are even tankier and do even more damage. Being able to freeze is nice, except when you come across a random mob that cant be frozen, or slowed, and he runs up and one shots you. I have 100 divs invested in my build, I still can't survive a basic attack from a juiced abyss mob. That's not good scaling. Then, GGG continually buffs the mobs, while nerfing our means to survive their attacks so that you have to have some god damn mirror tier rare that you can't afford to survive. Telling people "spend more on your build" is like telling broke people to make more money, its like no shit..

@@jordanharrison8769 I was playing tri stack hexblast inquisitor. My pob wouldn't be accurate anymore as I dropped dps to smack a mageblood into it. A big part of the dmg was running punishment with wrath and zealotry. Used Blessing for the extra aura because I had blood magic

I'm new and trying to learn this game I'm going to finish the campaign tonight. Why don't i know what a fractured is? Eldritch implicit? Is that the annoint mechanic that has the elvish letters on it?

[@zackwilson6761]

Please help I need a crafting fo dummies everyone just blows through everything like we been playing this game for 5 years

[@rexford6260]

Fractured items are normal, except one of the mods is locked in place and can't change think of it as a 2nd implicit if that helps. Even if you use a Chaos it will only reroll its numbers. They come from Delve and other places like Expedition but that isn't important, you can just buy them from other players like he's suggesting. Fractured items are good because if you can find one with a high tier mod that you want for a build its easier to craft on. So the process is supposed to be kind of simple. 1. Buy a Fractured item with a modifier you want for the build. (Flat life, Resistence, % life, etc) 2. Use a high tier Essence that pairs with the Fractured mod. (Flat life + % life, Flat phys damage + % phys damage, etc) 3. Repeat using high tier Essence until you get 2 more mods at Tier 3+ you want. 4. You've made an 'okay' item that will help you make more currency for when you're after a serious item later on. This requires that you understand how item level effects what tier of mods that will show up on them. I suggest you look over PoEDB (Path of exile database) for lots of information. Crafting has more and more information the deeper you go and what he's showing here is that if you've saved up 20-30 Chaos orbs its very possible to find 'okay' items for a build just by using trade filters and that well crafted Rare equipment is vastly more powerful than a build full of Unique gear or random Rare items found on the floor. (Uniques are a safe pick while you craft better).

@@rexford6260 wow thos os great information! Thank you

[@IDyn4m1CI]

No, I believe what you're thinking about are veiled modifiers. These are found in veiled items, earned by defeating Immortal Syndicate members, or crafted on gear by using veiled currency items. Eldritch implicits come from special types of currency items called "embers" and "ichors", which when used on non-unique helm, chest, gloves and boots will put atlas boss influence on those items and grant extra implicits. They are like extra mods on your item apart from the maximum of 6 explicit affixes that you can get on rare items (with a few exceptions). You can have one Searing Exarch implicit, and one Eater of Worlds implicit, making your rare items even stronger. You'll start finding those orbs when you get deeper into mapping.

"You are playing trade league" No I'm not =(

[@EvilWeiRamirez]

My issue is really finding direction. I'm playing charged dash warden, and my damage is like 7 mil with either tincture or unbound up, and 10 mil with both up. The thing is, I'm just not sure what defense to go with. I grabbed suppression and fortify. Then I'm using arctic armor, dawn breaker and then basic evasion and armor but only about 4k each. I also am using claws, so elusive exists, but it's weird. I'm just not sure when it is enough. It feels ok, but I'm only doing t10 maps. I probably need some avoidance, but going heavy into evasion isn't going to work out without grace. I'm thinking of using aspect of the cat instead, or possibly call of the void, but that's more reduced damage.

[@Amonkira1029]

@@EvilWeiRamirez Most people with fortify are using Iron Reflexes to turn amor/evasion into big armor. Personally, what you have seems like more than enough, but focusing on any one of those might give you the boost you need (Celestial Brace, +fort when focused, Iron Reflexes). If you still need defenses after all those layers and amping one up, maybe you don't need defenses, but damage so they die before they take a turn. Oath of Winter? Don't worry until you start dying.

@@Amonkira1029 oh, hmm. I forgot that I built into poisoned enemies cannot deal critical strikes and endurance charges too, but only the basic 3. I guess maybe I should just go all in on offense. My character only has 6 deaths.

[@jeremyp158]

u take the double tincture node ?

[@alexcho7513]

@@jeremyp158 Yes, it is absolutely busted. 2 Tinctures can give you over 200% increased elemental damage, 200% increased crit chance (letting you use a dog shit claw), 40% pen, and 40% attack speed and has permanent uptime. The trade off is pressing more buttons but if you bind it to your mouse wheel with a macro or side mouse buttons it's really not that bad.

[@sendneubs]

Its so painful we've fostered this "You need a build guide" attitude in the community "absolving" any personal responsibility for a build. Getting a build from someone can save a lot of time an effort exploring all the scaling mechanics in the game, but its not an excuse to not learn the mechanics of a build or the mechanics of the game. You can get so far in PoE just by game feel and prioritizing what your character needs at each step of the build journey, but no one wants to learn the actual mechanics and just want a paint-by-numbers approach instead of diving into the nearly-unlimited build customization that PoE offers.

[@hectords164]

This. I used to be one of these players until I actually read the text on gems and how my build works. Guides from other people are a huge help but what kept me hooked to push through is discovering what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it myself which makes the game extremely rewarding. Hoarding currency was also a HUGE disadvantage back when I started as well.
